freellmapiOpenAI-compatible proxy that stacks free tiers of 18 LLM providers (~1.7B tokens/mo) behind one /v1 — smart routing, failover, per-key quota tracking; Claude Code and Codex shims included.
Why switchSame idea, two scales: FreeLLMAPI stacks 18 providers' free tiers (~1.7B tokens/month) behind one /v1; OmniRoute stacks 352 providers with quota-aware scheduling, a desktop app and coding-CLI integrations.
Full comparison → 9routerSelf-hosted gateway pointing any AI coding CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline) at 40+ providers, with subscription→cheap→free auto-fallback and tool_result compression for 20-40% token savings.
Why switchBoth point any AI coding CLI at many providers with automatic fallback and compress tool results on the way through. 9router is the compact self-hosted version (40+ providers, subscription→cheap→free); OmniRoute is the encyclopaedic one.
Full comparison → litellmOpen-source AI gateway: call 100+ LLM providers in OpenAI format via a Python SDK or self-hosted proxy — with cost tracking, virtual keys, guardrails, load balancing and logging.
Why switchLiteLLM is the general-purpose OpenAI-format gateway for applications; OmniRoute is built for coding CLIs and free tiers specifically — quota tracking and fallback are the product, not a feature.
Full comparison → magpiePick any model for any coding agent from one menu-bar app: a local gateway translating OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini APIs, with subscription sign-ins and quota failover across accounts.
Why switchBoth route coding CLIs through one local endpoint with quota-aware fallback; omniroute aggregates hundreds of providers and compresses tokens, magpie focuses on switching each agent's model in place.
Full comparison → free-claude-codeProvider-backed proxy that runs Claude Code, Codex or Pi on 25 cloud and local providers — fcc-* launchers, local Admin UI with validation, per-tier model routing, IDE/Discord/Telegram hookups.
Why switchBoth run Claude Code and Codex on other providers without changing the CLI. free-claude-code is a launcher-per-provider proxy over 25 backends; OmniRoute is one endpoint with hundreds and automatic fallback.
Full comparison → routerWeave's Go model router: drop-in proxy speaking Anthropic, OpenAI and Gemini APIs that scores each request with an on-box ONNX embedder (Avengers-Pro clusters) and routes to the cheapest fit model.
Why switchBoth put a local endpoint in front of coding CLIs; omniroute maximises provider/free-tier coverage, weave router optimises which model handles each request.
